MANILA, Philippines — The case of Mary Jane Veloso, a Filipina on death row in Indonesia for drug trafficking, has spanned over a decade and remains one of the most high-profile legal battles involving an overseas Filipino worker. Veloso was arrested on April 25, 2010, at Adisucipto International Airport in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, after she was found in possession of more than 2.6 kilograms of heroin. She was sentenced to death in October – just six months after her arrest. Indonesia’s Supreme Court upheld the penalty in May 2011.

China | Man sentenced to death for murdering two kindergarten teachers in Shandong

19th September 2024 – (Qingdao) A 25-year-old man, Li Mouyong, was sentenced to death by the Qingdao Intermediate People’s Court on October 18 for the brutal murders of two kindergarten teachers in Pingdu, Shandong Province. 

The court found Li guilty of intentional homicide, stripping him of his political rights for life.

The tragic incident occurred on 11th December, when Li forcibly entered the rented accommodation of the two teachers, fatally stabbing one, Li Moufei, before proceeding to kill another teacher, Liu. 

Li was apprehended by police while attempting to flee to another location.

According to the prosecution, Li’s actions were driven by feelings of resentment stemming from personal difficulties. He had developed a vendetta against his former classmate, Li Moufei, and his cousin, Li Mouhui. 

Through stalking and surveillance, he obtained Li Moufei’s address and had previously purchased a knife in preparation for the attack.

On the night of the incident, after Li Moufei opened the door, he entered and began his assault. 

Liu attempted to intervene, managing to wrestle the knife from Li but ultimately lost her struggle and was killed. 

Liu’s father has expressed a desire for justice, hoping for the death penalty for his daughter’s murderer and seeking recognition for her bravery.
